EP candidates in Poland debate in English

Polish candidates for the European Parliament are holding debates in English. The point, of course, being that if you don't speak any foreign language you will not be of much use in Strasburg/Brussels.

The first such debate was held in Gdańsk between Janusz Lewandowski, Longin Pastusiak and Dariusz Szwed, as reported here (in Polish). Law and Justice (PiS) candidates did not accept the invitation. This is I think the first debate held in a foreign language in this campaign, but others have been proposed, also in French.

Of course it's only logical that we send MEP who speak something other than Polish. Still, can you imagine such a debate being held in France, the UK or elsewhere?
